Everything In A Bag

I guess we do this in Canada too, but I find it funny that everything you buy--no matter how large or small--gets put into a bag. The standard Thai bag is a white semi-transparent crinkly plastic bag. They come in various sizes but most of them are pretty small. The best is when the the item is already packaged in a bag, and then they put that into a bag when you buy it. Or when you're in the market and you buy some deep fried whatevers, they put it into a small heat resistant plastic bag, and then put that bag into the standard Thai bag. By the way, the bag also makes a great substitute for a cup. A lot of fruit shake stands will give you a fruit shake in a bag rather than in a cup.
